SPS IPC Drives 2018:

New Hall 3C Offers Additional Potential for Growth

All signs point to growth for the SPS IPC Drives: To date, the booking rate is already higher compared to last year's result. To accommodate the growing level of interest and continue to develop in line with the industry, the leading exhibition in smart and digital automation needs more space. For this reason, an additional hall will be provided for the Exhibition on 27 - 29 November 2018.

For event organizer Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH, the new Hall 3C (due to open in Fall 2018) was the obvious choice. With its unique design, and quality and energy standards to match, the new Hall looks set to be the main attraction in the southwest corner of the exhibition grounds in Nuremberg, winning over exhibitors and visitors alike. "We are delighted to be able to provide exhibitors with extra space and an even better exhibition experience in the bright and modern Hall 3C," commented Sylke Schulz-Metzner, Vice President of SPS IPC Drives at Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH.

Rearrangement of

Exhibition Topics and New Routes

Due to the expansion of the Exhibition, some changes have been made to the focus areas of individual halls. In future, Hall 5 and Hall 6 will focus on Software and IT in manufacturing, as well as one new core topic: Industrial Communication. To ensure that the topic of Mechanical Infrastructure also has room to grow, exhibitors from this area will be based in the newly added Hall 3C. This is adjacent to Hall 2, which also focuses on the theme of Mechanical Infrastructure.

For the first time, a total of 17 halls will be open to provide trade visitors with information on the latest products and solutions for smart and digital automation. The familiar hall layout will not change much. However, the main topics will be presented in a more compact way on the exhibition grounds, making it easy to find products and solutions quickly.
